AmFGEm
Five in the morning an hour before dawn, they wake her up in her bed
AmFGG
Standing over her body, and holding a gun to her head

They'll tell her "it's come to defeat"
AmFGG
Then they kick through her paintings, and drag her out into the street

AmFGG
Oh my love, don't take any-more
AmFGG
Oh my love, break down the door
AmFGEm

AmF
By day they take her, and interiogate her
GEm
and tell her "she's crude and insane"
AmFGG
but by night the same keepers, will steal in and rape her aain

She can't see who they are, through the thick black bars
GEm
That cast shadows over her eyes
AmFGG
And if she resists, they'll beat hear with fists til she cries

AmFGG
Oh my love, don't take any-more

Oh my love, break down the door

Oh my love, there's a sun in the east

Its your release

And i'll paint in your blood, til it turns to a flood
